Limerick motorists warned of delays following separate rush-hour incidents

MOTORISTS in Limerick are being advised of potential delays following two separate incidents this Wednesday evening.

Transport Infrastructure Ireland is advising that a full closure is in place on a section of the M7 motorway - between Junction 27 (Birdhill) and Junction 28 (Castletroy) - following an earlier incident while separately, there are reports of delays due to an over-sized vehicle in the Limerick Tunnel.

Motorists are being advised to avoid both locations, if possible.

Emergency services have been dispatched to both locations and it's expected the two roads will fully re-open to traffic later this evening.

There are no reports of any serious injuries arising from either incident.
